Educational Opportunities for Faculty & Staff

Anti-Racism Community (ARC) Dialogues

ARC Dialogues are monthly discussions around issues related to racism, how it manifests in our personal and professional lives, and strategies for counteracting its effects. As Dr. Martin Luther King famously stated, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." The purpose of these ARC dialogues, therefore, is to not only provide learning opportunities but to serve as a springboard toward action that helps bend that moral arc. While these groups are open to all MU employees, this space is envisioned for those who have spent considerable time previously on learning about racism, identities, privilege, and their own role in this work. We are particularly mindful that equity and anti-racism work and the burden of educating white people on these issues often falls to people of color. As such, this group is meant to shift that focus and to avoid instances were emotional labor and time is extracted from persons of color on our campus.
